Speaking of memories and Peabodys, my son Ross' favorite toy as a 2 year old was an HO Peabody hopper his uncle gave him. He took it with him everywhere he went. (...)

| Well, my prayers have been finally answered (sorta:-) I had gotten into the habit of firing off an email to Brad Justus every 6 months or so when he was still heading up LEGO Direct begging for TLG to get a license for producing Thomas the Tank (...)

And I don't either, I just think its great that Lego is still producing trains, especially ones based on real prototypes (although slightly more generic ones would be good too) However you mention that this set will strike a chord when seen at (...)
